Don't just take the morning-after pill... Share side effects, prescriptions, pharmacy purchases, dosing times, and reviews.

Something unexpected happened a few days ago.
It was just... my oversight was too great to say it was a mistake.

I was confused so I searched and found out that there was something called the morning-after pill.
But when I actually tried to eat it, I was so scared.
I had all sorts of thoughts: what would happen to my body, what would be the side effects, would it prevent pregnancy?

 

So, like me, side effects of the morning-after pill, prescription for the morning-after pill, how to buy it at the pharmacy,
I'm leaving this post for those who are curious about things like the dosage time.

 

When to take the morning-after pill is really important.

 

First, let me tell you the time.
If you look on the internet, it says you have to eat it within 72 hours.
The sooner you eat it, the better the effect.

 

I ate it about 10 hours later,
The doctor said, “It’s not too late, thank goodness.”

If possible, eat it within 12 hours. That seems best.

 

 

How do I get the morning-after pill?

You can't just buy the morning-after pill at a pharmacy.

I need to go to the gynecologist.

I went to a women's clinic.

If you explain the situation simply, I will prescribe it right away.
It's embarrassing, but the doctors are really calm and accepting.

 

It's not easy to buy it at a pharmacy either.
I need to go to the pharmacy with my prescription.

If you ask for the morning-after pill, they will quietly give it to you.
I do care about what other people think for no reason.

 

I think the price was around 30,000 to 50,000 won including the hospital and pharmacy.
(Varies by hospital and medicine)

 

The side effects of the morning-after pill... Honestly, it was tough.

What I took was 1.5mg of levonorgestrel.
After taking it, you will feel fine for an hour or two,
The next day was a bit difficult.

 

✔️ Nausea: I felt nauseous all the time.
✔️ Headache: Really nagging...
✔️ Fatigue: I was lying around all day in a daze.
✔️ Irregular periods: They came 5 days later than usual and the amount was a bit different.

 

They say it's different for everyone, but I think I reacted quite sensitively.
Of course, I'd be grateful if this were the end of it. The important thing is to prevent pregnancy.

 

 

 

nevertheless...

The morning-after pill is truly an emergency.
They say it's dangerous to eat it more than twice a month.

It's much safer to use regular birth control pills or condoms.

I also plan to take this opportunity to pay more attention to contraception.

It feels like my body is broken once... I don't want to do this again.

To those who are worried like me
Never put it off. Go to the hospital as soon as possible.

 

You must obtain a prescription and purchase it at a pharmacy.

Side effects vary from person to person, but are not negligible.

 

Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.

 

I hope this article helps someone.
It was a worry that I really couldn't put into words...
